1. What is DecoTech ACP?

DecoTech Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) is made up of two layers of aluminum skin on the top and bottom, and one layer of anti-toxic polyethylene material in the core. Also the skin surfaces can be coated with special paint material like PVDF resin or Polyester resin under a specific temperature condition.

 

2. What application is DecoTech ACP for?

Wall Curtain, Cladding and Façade, Roof edges and Parapet wall; Dado, Separation Wall and Partition, Advertising Board, Showroom and Shop front, Signing, Column Covers and Beam Wraps.

 

3. What is the standard size available?

1220(width)*2440(Length)*3(Thickness) MM, 1220(width)*2440(Length)*4(Thickness) MM

 

4. What is the maximum width and maximum length?

The maximum width is 2000mm, and the maximum length is 6000mm.

 

5. Can you produce special thickness for DecoTech panel?

We also can offer 2mm5mm,6mm, 8mm, 18mm DecoTech panels.

 

6. How long does it take to match a custom color?

Our color matching process normally takes a week. A sample is preferred when a color match is requested. Also we can match the color as per international color charts, such as RAL color.

 

7. How does DecoTech ship our panels?

Our policy at this time is that all orders ship from our facility in ShanghaiChina to destination port under FOB, C&F, and CIF terms.

 

8. What is the minimum order?

600m2 for our standard color, 1000m2 for special color. Sometime even 200m2 is OK

 

9. How long is your delivery time?

Normally the delivery time is within 15 days after your down payment.

 

10. Why does PVDF coating possess such excellent performances?

The structure of fluorine-carbon short bond combined with hydrogen bond is the steadiest and firmest structure among all kinds of chemical bond structure. As one of the criteria of judging stability and tightness of chemical structure, the electronegative atom index of PVDF coating could achieve 105KJ/mole. However, for the normal coating, it is only 83.2KJ/mole. Also, there is an inorganic material whose molecular structure is SiO2, which is created by certain chemical method and made of pure inorganic resin. Because the energy of composing Silicon and Oxide is 101KJ/mole, this kind of molecular structure will not be destroyed easily by ultraviolet radiation. Moreover, the other properties of PVDF coating, such as self-cleaning, Incombustibility, environmental protection etc., are still remarkable.

 

11. What is the nanometer coating advantage?

The nanometer coating is an additional coating based on high-tech paints with property of anti-graffiti, anti-scratch and self-clean when it is used for every DecoTech PVDF colors. Its outstanding function is anti-abrasion, anti-salt, anti-moisture and UV-resistance. In image, it will be shinier than normal PVDF coating. So it will make your building shinier, cleaner and reduce the maintenance cost too. And it is also used for DecoTech polyester colors.

 

12. What is the copper Composite panel advantage?

DecoTech Copper Composite Material is composed of a thermoplastic core sandwiched between two thin sheets of copper. The DecoTech panels offer designers, architects and building owners the rigidity of heavy-gauge sheet metal in a lightweight copper composite material. The milled copper finish changes with time and weathering, and when the surface of the natural copper turned to patina constantly, it will add richness and depth to any building"s facade.

 

13) What is the stainless steel composite panel advantage?

DecoTech Stainless Steel Composite Panel (SSCP) delivers the same outstanding qualities found in our standard ACM panels. Light in weight, tough as nails, and easy to fabricate and install. The DecoTech SSCP is an ideal choice for the cladding of building exteriors, entryway, canopies, soffits, and fascias. Their strength and durability make them cost effective for the cladding of entire structures or for providing wonderfully distinctive accents .The SSCP feature stainless steel sheets on both sides. The result is an even more durable, yet still lightweight material suited for a wide variety of applications.

 

14) How to examine the quality of protective films?

Film thickness is 0.08mm, black inside and milky white outside.

The degree of transparency of protective film should be very low. Also, when the film is being torn from rubber layer, the sound is usually low, the gloss of rubber layer is low, and the string is usually long and white; whereas, when the film is being torn from the acryloyl layer, the sound is generally high, the gloss of rubber layer is high, and the string is very short. Surely, what mentioned above is only used for reference, and could not be the final judgment, which must be tested by the specific devices.

 

15) How to identify the quality of the ACP?

Aluminum composite panel (ACP) is a kind of new decoration building material for exterior and interior wall. There are many different brands and different quality in the market, it is hard for consumer to identify the quality of ACP. So we advise you to use the following methods:

1. Look over the surface of the panel; it should be smooth, no corrugation, without bubbling, flaw, and nick;

2. Measure the panel; it should reach to the International Standard: Interior panel 3mm, Exterior panel 4mm;

3. Bend the corner of the panel; if easy to be ruptured, it is not real PE, or bad PE

4. Light the PE, if it is completely burned, It"s real PE; if impurity exists, it is bad PE

5. Slot the panel, if it is ruptured, it is bad

6. Drop a blob of Methyl Ethyl Ketone on exterior panel(PVDF), then rub out the reagent after 5 minutes, if see the aluminum skin, it is not PVDF coating;

7. Drop a blob of Xylene on interior panel(Polyester), then rub out the reagent after 5 minutes, if see the aluminum skin, it is not Polyester coating;

8. Ask for Quality Test Report and Warranty Certificate, ISO-9001 Quality System Certificate, which normal manufacturers obtained these certificates.

 

16) What are the benefits of using DecoTech panels?

DecoTech panels offer the user superior flatness, excellent color uniformity while being lightweight yet durable as well as as easy to work with. DecoTech will shine your building.
